Out Of The Clouds Hanna Fiedler on making clothes vs fashion, the importance of fit, and how she gets her inspiration from sushi chefs
In this episode, the guest of Out of the Clouds is Hanna Fiedler (@hanna.fiedler): the creative force behind her eponymous London-based womenswear brand, an up-and-comer in the fashion industry, whos is launching her fourth collection this Spring.
Hanna, originally from Bavaria, Germany, started her journey in fashion by learning to sew with her mother, then interning at 16 in the Thalia Theater in Hamburg where she fell in love with the art of tailoring and costume design. This led her to a three-year apprenticeship in tailoring at the Berlin Opera House, before taking her to the London College of Fashion where she honed her craft in pattern cutting.
In this conversation, Hanna shares her love of building timeless pieces with character to enhance the wearer's visual personality, as well as why she loves to explore hidden volume, sustainable materials and practices, and why wants to see more transparency in the fashion industry in the future.
Her passion for food and the inspiration she gets from sushi chefs were an exquisite surprise, informing the manly Japanese names of pieces in her new collection like Endo Trousers. A joyful, thoughtful and touching conversation with a young entrepreneur with bright vision. Enjoy!
